Aston Tirrold : United Reformed Church

About this church

In 1728, the sons of John Fuller, Richard and Joseph, built the present Aston Tirrold Dissenters Church in Joseph’s orchard, and Joseph divided his own house into two to provide a manse for the minister.The church building, now the Aston Tirrold United Reformed Church, has changed little since then. The church is small, only internally 26 x 26 feet, and square in plan, built of red and blue glazed bricks. The roof is double hipped and tiled with terracotta tiles. The vestry at the back of the church was added in the 18th century, and the front porches in the 19th. Inside the church there was originally a gallery on three sides, with the pulpit between the two windows on the west wall. In the middle of the 19th century the inside was reordered, the pulpit now on the east wall, and the gallery on that wall removed. A rose window, above the pulpit was also inserted at that time.
